Crash on save, all work lost
Version 16.0.1 x64
Working on an existing document. Nothing out the the norm. Just basic single-user InDesign. Upon save, it said the "document needed to be repaired and some unsaved changes might be lost". Well it lost everything and I lost 2 hours of work. I think InDesign is becoming like the old Quark XPress where you had to hit Ctrl-S like a rabid monkey to save your work from loss.The other thing is lately InDesign crashes on startup.

'Apply italic' Shortcut Issue
Prior to v16, Shift-Command-I applied the active font's italic to selected text. But in v16, it is applying the font's bold italic.
I see no way to affect this in the Keyboard shortcuts panel. It simply lists "Apply italic" with the correct shortcut.

Using URL with Czech diacritics causes broken link
When I copy URL from existing Czech Wikipedia page
https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violka_vonná
and assign it to text in a document, the indicator in Hyperlinks panel turns red, but when I check it’s value by double clicking the link I find the same text in the Edit hyperlink field (copy and pasting the text from hyperlinks panel to text editor proves it’s identical). When I export the to PDF, resulting the link doesn’t work and (in pop up text) shows another link’s value

When I click the link in PDF I end up on nonexisting web page with yet another address

small window when packaging files
InDesign 2021: When I go to package a file the window that comes up is now small. It used to be larger. I have to expand it every single time I want to package so I can see my folders. Is there a fix to put it back to the original size or if I adjust it can stay the same size?
See attached files please.
Thank you so much for your help.
Vicky1 voteThe fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2021(v16.1.0.20). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right and click on Check for App Updates.

Cannot Export in PDF format
Adobe InDesign version: 16.0.1 x64
Platform: Windows 10, Version 20H2 (build SO 19042.685)
Problem:
Suddenly, from a couple of days, I cannot export in PDF format anymore.
When trying to export a file, I receive the message "Failed to Export PDF" (or something similar, I use the Italian version) – see image 1.It doesn’t matter the settings in the export window, I tried almost all the combinations, but the PDF generation fails.
I can export in.jpeg, for example, but it is not useful for me.Infos:
The same file has been successfully exported just a couple of hours before.…3 votes -
text wrap controls behave different with transformed objects
InDesign 16.1v64
Text Wrap controls behave different with transformed objects.
At first I was going to report this as a bug and saw one other post where they were having the same issue but then I realized what is really going on so I'm making a suggestion.
Look at the Text Wrap for an Image object with the controls unlinked.
I was seeing the bottom control affecting the right side. And the Right side control affecting another side.
After some research I realized this was only happening on the images I'd imported and rotated 90 degrees.

Publish Online menu inactive after one use
Indesign 16.0.2
When you go to the menu File/publish online it's works the first time you use it. But, 5 minute later when you want to update your publish online document the menu File/Publish Online option is inactive (grey).
I must quit Indesign, relaunch it and after that, the menu File/publish online is active.2 votes -

Importing swatches: The colors are not in the correct order
(Adobe InDesign 2021 16.1)
When I import color swatches from another InDesign doc, the order of the swatches are reversed within the folders in the swatch pallette.
When I import color swatches from an ase-file, the tint colors are missing.
Even though this is a minor issue, I really hope it can be fixed.
Thank you.

Automatic Hyphenation
When exporting an InDesign file as pdf, a "B" is added to a hyphenated word (see screenshot: left is the ID file, right the pdf). This does not happen systematically, but so far twice in roughly 500 pages, both times in footnotes though.

Review is good start but needs a lot of work
Intermittent issue with review panel appearing blank, needs restart to refresh it.
Document and panel comments jump around making it painful to use in a long document. Panel seems to constantly refresh which appears to be causing the issue? Today can't see any comments or update from my side (see screenshot)
It would be nice to have comments panel work as the pdf review

Cannot place Excel .xlsm files
Adobe InDesign 2021's File > Place... dialog does not allow the selection of Excel .xlsm files even though it appears to be capable of importing them.
On Windows, this can be worked around somewhat painfully by showing "All Files" in the Place dialog, but in macOS there is no similar workaround.

Autosave issues? More frequent spinning beach ball for 15-20 seconds - unable to do anything
I assume this is related to Autosave because it only happens in Adobe products. I just upgraded to Big Sur (another buggy and annoying "upgrade") and the spinning beach ball happens twice as often now, and it lasts almost twice as long.
It's so f*cking annoying because I'm unable to do anything. It just happened and lasted 20 grueling seconds.
I bought a new MacBook Pro (late 2019) and I've never had more annoying bugs and intrusive, workflow-killing weirdness going on in the 15 years I've been using both. Apple blames Adobe and Adobe blames Apple.

balance columns + Span Columns = freeze
Version: Indesign 2021; 16.0
In a 2-column text box with "Balance columns" on, I applied "Span Columns: All" to a line of text. If I hit "OK" or turn on the preview, then Indesign freezes until I Force-Quit.
